Produktinformationen zu „David Riesman and Critical Theory / Progress in Mathematics (PDF)“
Although David Riesman wrote over half a century ago, his concept of autonomy as presented in The Lonely Crowd (1950) speaks directly to the intellectual and emotional disarrangements of the twenty-first century. The current malaise produced by the excesses of commodity culture, information technology, the hyperreal, and "fake news" militate against our ability to think critically about contemporary society. And while postmodern authors insist that this bewildering situation weakens and assails our critical thinking skills, Riesman's notion of autonomy refuses to capitulate to such a somber interpretation. Rather, he is convinced that individuals have the intellectual and emotional mettle to think for themselves and not be drawn into the demands of a commercialized culture and a commodity-driven lifestyle. As we pick and choose the terms of our engagement, we can remain aloof from society's engulfing influence and preserve the oppositional thinking needed for democracy. To illustrate this point most clearly, this book puts Riesman into conversation with the writings of Theodor Adorno, whose evaluation of the critical faculty's ability to withstand "the culture industry" is famously pessimistic.

Amirhosein Khandizaji is the author of "The Victory of Instrumental Reason and Farewell to Variety" (Xenomoi Verlag, 2013) and of Baudrillard and the Culture Industry (Springer, 2017). He is the editor of Reading Adorno: the Endless Road (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019), and the founding editor of Berlin Journal of Critical Theory.

Mary Caputi is Professor in the Department of Political Science at California State University, Long Beach, USA. She is the author of Feminism and Power: the Need for Critical Theory (Lexington, 2013), A Kinder, Gentler America: Melancholia and the Mythical 1950s (Minnesota, 2005), co-editor of Teaching Marx and Critical Theory in the 21st Century, with Bryant Sculos (Brill, 2019), and co-editor of Jacques Derrida and the Future of the Liberal Arts, with Vincent Del Casino (Continuum, 2013). In addition to teaching at California State University, Long Beach, she has taught at the University of Venice, at California State University in Florence, and at John Cabot University, Rome.
